Rageaholic posted:It was directed by "Adil & Bilall" and I guess this is their US theatrical debut. I wouldn't mind seeing more from them. They were also going to direct Beverly Hills Cop 4 which was supposed to start filming back in 2017 but it's been in development hell for a while, but Netflix just bought the rights a few months ago so it looks like it's back on the table.

Turns out this one didn't need Michael Bay directing to make it crazy after all. The directors created a series called Snowfall on FX. It's about a 1980s LA coke dealer family and also the CIA.

I think PBS still airs Clifford, so it's not exactly forgotten. I miss the Honey I Shrunk The Kids TV show which I remembered as being quite insane. One episode had Wayne and his family travelling back in time to the Old West for a vacation and end up helping a friendly alien who eats with his butt. Another episode had them discovering a huge asteroid that is heading for Earth and when they teleported to its surface, they discover a community of humans who based their culture on Star Wars and is under attack by a giant spider. Also I remember them making the mom in the TV series hotter than in the movie.

Regardless of the Clifford show still airing, every Kindergarten classroom in the country probably has at least one of the books. And it's not like parents don't buy the same books they were read as kids. And libraries are chock full of 'em for storytime. So I don't think there's any concern about it not being a known property for kids. Also, a new Honey I Shrunk the Kids show could be really cool if they lean into the 50s b-movie tone. The original was a riff on The Incredible Shrinking Man and Attack of the Puppet People but for kids. Keeping the same level of camp but having solid CG effects could end up resulting in a pretty cool show—as long as they actually explore the micro world rather than just use it as a setting or plot device like Ant-Man. Plus, macro photography has gotten so much more prevalent in the interim that you could have some truly gruesome looking bugs and such. And at this point with Moranis getting up there in years, you've gotta call it Honey I Shrunk the Grandkids, right?

Downsizing is a funny critique of capitalism but if all you're looking for is jokes about things being small it won't deliver. Personally, I love it.

So I don't think there's any concern about it not being a known property for kids. Yeah it should be an easy sell but for some reason the project just kept stalling. Universal originally greenlit it back in 2012 but kept moving the release date back and eventually went cold on it and let the licence lapse, so Paramount bought the rights in 2016 and went through a bunch of rewrites over several years until they finally settled on something. Edit: on a hunch I went and checked if there were any new Lassie films in the works and it turns out there's a remake of Lassie Come Home hitting cinemas later this month, but it's only being released in Germany https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10384944/ Benji got a 2018 remake via Blumhouse/Netflix, Lady And The Tramp got a live action remake last year, Scooby Doo is getting a big screen reboot in a few months.

I had no idea the actress passed away in 2014 from breast cancer.  If Disney does bring back that franchise, I hope Stuart Gordon gets a huge payday from it. I love the fact that the guy who made Re-Animator and From Beyond also made Honey I Shrunk The Kids.

The proposed plot of the new Honey I film allegedly is:quote:Aware that the family ties have loosened over time but seemingly afraid to confront anyone directly. He has been tinkering alone in his attic for decades, dealing with the grief of losing his wife. When we first meet him, he has accidentally shrunk himself and is flying around on a shrunken drone — seemingly lost in a continuous of tinkering and experimenting that often puts himself and his family in jeopardy. He later reveals he shut himself away to try and invent a solution to help shrink Diane’s cancer but found it hard to cope when he ran out of time. His guilt and shame is palpable. Through the crisis of the kids getting shrunk, the truth emerges and the bonds begin to redevelop between him and his kids. https://thedisinsider.com/2020/02/03/exclusive-disney-may-bring-rick-moranis-out-of-retirement-for-honey-i-shrunk-the-kids-reboot-shrunk/ I remember the tv show, it was on at a weird time but it was crazy from the few episodes I saw

The whole reason Rick Moranis basically retired is because his wife died of cancer and he decided to focus on raising their children. This is particularly ghoulish.

OTOH Marcia Strassman, who played Diane in the original films also died of breast cancer six years ago. So they really can't win in this case. Might as well reboot/remake at this point. EDIT: Also if Diane is dead then how does the title "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" make any SENSE? AceOfFlames fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Feb 4, 2020 |

EDIT: Oh my god these episode summaries on Wikipedia quote:Wayne's invention succeeds in finding gold - a pot of doubloons claimed by a leprechaun, who puts a curse on the Szalinskis until they hand it over. quote:Diane is very nervous about her case against a tough lawyer so Wayne invents a thinky ring to help her retrieve her thoughts better. Unfortunately, she becomes a brain sucking vampire. Wayne finds out and goes after her to lure her home. Nick manages to get the ring off but this turns him into a brain sucking vampire. Diane figures things out and plots to fight Nick and get the ring off before he takes over the world. quote:Wayne turns Amy's bicycle into a super speed mountain bike. Amy goes on a bike ride through the woods, crashes, twists her ankle and finds refuge in a cave. Amy meets Bigfoot and she names him George after Curious George. He saves her and takes Amy to her house. Now the family must get him back along with his wife, a Yeti. I would think this whole page was a joke if I hadn’t watched the show as a kid.

Turns out this one didn't need Michael Bay directing to make it crazy after all. Yeah I really enjoyed it. Bad Boys 2 is one of my favorite action films ever so I went in with pretty high expectations and was pleasantly satisfied. I dont think its anywhere even close to the sheer brilliant insane spectacle of 2, but I was laughing throughout, was engaged and had a great time which is all you can really ask from a Bad Boys movie. Plus the return of Reggie almost immediately put the movie in good graces with me. The call backs to 1 and 2 were perfect in general and the death of the captain also hit me pretty hard.
